METROPOLIS works remotely and has a digital-first parent company. However, we prefer candidates for this role who are based in New York City, so that they can leverage the largest professional architecture and interior design network in the country. While you can still work from home, you will have the option of working at our office in midtown Manhattan and participate in regular in-person team meetings.
We welcome video responses and those that participate are given priority review. Please send your video response to [email protected] answering, ‘What interests you most in this role and how will you leverage the opportunities it provides?’.
About Metropolis
METROPOLIS discusses the ideas, projects, products, and people that will shape the future of design. We believe in design that makes a positive impact on people and the planet.
For over 40 years we have built deep expertise in sustainable design, cutting-edge technology, and shifts in professional practice. Metropolis has been consistently ahead of the curve on critical issues in architecture and interior design. We were the first design publication to dedicate an issue to sustainability (September 1996), dedicate an issue to design for wellbeing (October 1996), connect the building industry to climate change (October 2003), and address the carbon emissions of interior design (December 2020)
We produce 5 print issues a year, organize events in cities across the United States, and support a number of industry-wide initiatives including the Interior Design Pledge for Positive Impact.
About Your Role
As Senior Editor and Engagement Manager, you will not only identify and shape the stories worth telling but also help our audiences and partners engage with them in meaningful ways.
You will work within Metropolis’s editorial team, but work closely with our content, event, marketing, and digital marketing teams, and collaborate cross-functionally with other brand teams across SANDOW Design Group.
How You Will Make a Difference
The architecture and interior design industry contributes to 39% of global carbon emissions; the construction sector is the second largest consumer of plastics in the world; and construction is the second most at-risk sector for modern-day slavery. This industry, known for its creativity, is slow to progress on these issues because of a lack of influence with decision makers; a lack of transparent collaboration between clients, practitioners, collaborators, and vendors; and a culture of novelty over innovation.
Metropolis is among the organizations advocating for centering the built environment’s positive impact on people and the planet. As our senior editor and engagement manager, you will be in dialogue with architects, interior designers, product manufacturers and others who are at the leading edge of the built environment, and have the ability to amplify, support, and influence their work.
What You Will Do
- Create compelling and thought-provoking stories for architects and interior designers.
- Engage with our audiences and industry partners, both online and in person, and glean insights from those interactions.
- Create and use social media content to open up dialogue with our community and grow our reach.
- Shape content with purpose, based on understanding our mission, industry trends, and audience response.
- Continuously build your expertise through interactions with the finest minds in sustainability, wellness, equity, and resilience.
- Help build resources and tools that can drive positive change in the architecture and interior design industry.
Compensation/Benefits
Commensurate with skill set, experience and the position needed, this role will earn $65-75k annually, with comprehensive health benefits and other benefits. Our work culture promotes mastering of your craft as well as growth, whether at Metropolis, SDG, or outside our family of brands through formal and informal mentorship opportunities.
Keys to your Success
- The editorial experience (5+ years) to shape stories in a way that will impact the architecture and interior design industry
- Learning through interaction and conversation
- Ease with different ways of telling stories, including on social media
- Familiarity with web, social, and email analytics
- Passion for sustainability, wellness, equity, and resilience in architecture and design
- Attention to feedback from audiences, partners, and collaborators
- An entrepreneurial mindset and love of problem-solving
What to Expect
Apply through our LinkedIn job posting. If we think you meet enough of the criteria above, someone from our HR team will reach out to schedule an introductory call.
Initial interviews will be conducted virtually, and part of our process will include producing social and video content that reflects your approach to engagement and storytelling. We welcome a TikTok or video resume at any point in the process.
We welcome you to digitally explore our brand and our team members, and come to this process ready to discuss why you want to join us at Metropolis and what you will uniquely bring to our team and our culture.
